I feel really bad about this, but I'm only giving it 3 ⭐ because of the I almost exclusively read smut these days and I like to read for fun, so that was kind boring to me and also I'm not big into so it was just kind of a lame reason. If it had been a story with I think I would've enjoyed it more rather than . It was also a bit tedious with all the anxiety, but I know that is good representation of people with GAD, so I do appreciate that. Paris is just like my husband, so I found that endearing.

Written super well, but the main character is challenging, especially if you also have similar mental illnesses. Very accurate though! And ultimately a great read!
